2 Hints

Say Your Prayers

Even when you're short on cash, you should always consider stopping by the temple for a short prayer before you leave on a mission. Even the least expensive prayers will offer significant boosts to the gear you soon acquire, or income, or experience points, or life points. It's especially worth keeping that in mind as you reach the second half of the game, where money is tighter and you'll need to pay for horse rentals.

Finding the Talismans

When you need to locate the talismans, you can make things easier for yourself by paying attention on the dungeon selection screen, which you can reach from the stables. If you're missing a talisman in the area in question, the talisman will light up on that screen to let you know that you can find one in the area in question.
